Hopefully I didn't make any spelling mistakes in the title.
I'm sitting here at the stage where you know that you've probably drunk too much but you are still in relative control of yourself. I call this the introspective phase of drinking, usually you're not in this phase for very long. At this point you've got more than a good buzz, but you've run out of bottles to open. And you start to think.
For myself, I think about missed opportunities. I think about my past. I think about what could have been. There are funny drunks. There are mad drunks, violent drunks, crying drunks, loud drunks. All the different facets of what makes somebody drunk. I sit here wondering what people think when they've hit this phase. I'd like to know I'm not alone.
When I get this way, sometimes even when I haven't had a bit of a drink, I turn inward. I look at how people act in movies, tv shows, books, and I wonder if that's how the real world reacts. Media is just supposed to be an exaggerated view of realty right? Sometimes very exaggerated, other times spot on. But there's no way to know how in-tune with the rest of the world it is.
And so, I sit, and think. And wonder. It's not that I'm anti-social(because I'm asking this question). Just.......shy, I suppose. I don't really seek out human contact so I don't necessarily know how the rest of the world acts.
Anyway, debate and discourse right. What do you think of when you hit the "sweet" spot of drinking? When you've had just enough to realize that you've probably drunk too much, but not so drunk you don't realize you're drunk.
Do you think about yourself?
Sigs are fun.

Sake- Makes me horny
Beer- Makes me tired
Wine- Including champagne it gives me a migraine
Mixed drinks- Makes me tired
Angry drunk - "What did you just say to me, man? WHAT! WHAT??"
Horny drunk - "Oh man I am so totally in the mood to blow someone right now *TEEHEE*"
Sad drunk - "What am I doing with my life everything sucks blah blah"
Giggly drunk - "hehehehehehehe"
Personally I tend toward the giggly side. Then I usually puke later.
My skill at Double Dash is largely unaffected.
I am a more confident dancer.
Then comes the drunk dialing, which usually consists of trying to make peace with assholes I don't like.
Then comes the funny.
"Uh, yes you have. Remember the party when I drank that Guiness, then the tequilla, then that green stuff that tasted like a key lime pie?" Oh yeah.....
I've never been an angry drunk, since 'grouch' is my default sober setting - if anything alcohol makes me more tollerable to be around. I suppose I could be classified as a horny drunk except I've been a dirty old man since I was a teenager, and alcohol really doesnt change that one way or 'tother. Sad? No, I dont get sad. Nor giggly.
I'm like me, except words dont come easy to me, and my center of gravity is a bit more random.

What Kind of Drunk are YOU?
It was generally considered one of the most dignified vomits anyone had ever seen. One girl remarked that I was "adorable".
Oh and I write really well when i'm drunk sometimes. It's like my vocabulary increases ten fold. A very strange occurrence but it can lead to me saying some pretty manipulative and calculated cold things. It's a detachment, I suppose.
Edit: Uh . . .well shit.
Vodka- Happy but dumb (like hitting on my best friends 17 year old cousin)
Rye - Happy but respsonisble
Rye-whiskey- Horny and aggresive
Whiskey- Angry and overreactive
Wine- very outgoing
Beer- very relaxed
and sometimes we drink this stuff called Hot 100, its 100 proof cinnamon schnapps, and I always black out and wake up very sore when i drink it.
I guess I dont really get depressed while drinking.. But every once in a while I will be extremely depressed the day after.
Sore asshole? lol!
Basically, my geekiness gets amped up.
Woke up with my pants hanging from a tree
Usually I'm just really loud and cheerful though
"Imagine, right, imagine the part of you that was you when you're speaking to me, isn't you, but that the you that's yu when that's happening, the real you is the you that ... Shit, what was I saying? It's all about society, isn't it? Morality's just ... What?"
I have had this train of thought verbatim.
This is a common sentiment. Everyone is always, "Oh man, we need to have a party and get Jeff drunk again!"
"What Kind of Drunk Are You?"
I've got a friend who's EXACTLY like that. Back in first year we'd load him full of alcohol and get him to do Delta-Epsilon proofs. Now it's mostly quantum field theory.
The last 3 times have been:
beer, Redbull & Vodka, duckfart (a shot? idk, someone else bought it), whiskey shot, vodka bomb, rum and coke - That ended up with me being an awesome drunk. Dancing, laughing, having those "deep" drunk conversations that are really as deep as a kiddie pool. Fun stuff.
Captain and cokes - Lazy, tired, lay on the couch falling asleep to Blade Runner drunk. (at least i didn't embarass myself)
Vodka & redbulls and Vodka bombs - So this night i only remember 3 drinks, then blackout city. Apparently i drank an entire 5th of vodka myself, then there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth. I threw said 5th bottle at a car, missed (thank god), and then as i was being driven home I bawled my eyes out for like 15 minutes in a car full of my friends. Get home, have like a 2 hour "talk" with my roomate, pass out. Not my shining moment.
Normally I'm a good drunk, either lazy/tired or funny/active, but like once every 9 months i have to have a breakdown, it seems.
As far as the OP goes: When i'm in the sweet spot, I don't go inward, i get extroverted. That's when I'm more likely to dance, joke, hit on people, etc.
I like the sweet spot better, but the way i metabolize alcohol (slowly) it's hard to find it.
Oh shit, I missed that. Probably because I'm drunk.
Apparently I'm Philosophical.
All the time.
:winky:
Actually I am normally depressed when I drink. I'm more philosophical when i'm high.
My brother thinks alcohol enhances what ever mood you're in. I'm not so sure I believe this but there may be some truth to it. More experimentation is required.
Also I can't handle hard alcohol very well. So I stick to beer, primarily imported beer because i'm a snob like that.
You're an Angry Drunk!
No, I'm an Angry Sober.
sort of thing I might say would be
yes definitely, I concur with that sentiment you have just voiced most heartily; it is excellent we are of agreement and one mind, especially in the loud and uncertain times in which we currently dwell, or at least I would assume from my current power of observations which we dwell, and over which could possibly be mistaken...
to a yes/no question
I get introspective and mildly depressed when I'm sobering up however.

Path of Exile: themightypuck
When I get drunk I tend to get slutty and depressed.
extra strange because I'll freely explore the experience of any other drug I can get my hands on.
Which usually results in these types of stories the next day from friends: "...man Al remember when you did I]insert completely retarded shit here[/I? That was fucking [jokes/retarded/i can't believe you got away with your life/you're my hero]"
Yeah, I know you all hate me. :P
Enjoy it while it lasts, cause it sure as fuck wont be forever.
